My answer has always been the key to lint is to avoid it (PERIOD)!!!&nbsp; I did some research on line and read about this volcanic clay that helps pull lint out of your locks.&nbsp; This was truly an experiment for me.&nbsp; <br /><br />I tried it, thought it got the lint out, but when my hair dried, it was like "hello lint, nice to see you again." LMBO.&nbsp; It may work for some people, or for those that&nbsp;don't have extreme cases (like me).&nbsp; Anywho... take a look at what I did.&nbsp; You can google and get recipes on line, and YouTube has a wealth of information.&nbsp; <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OIL9j1jei5k/T9Qi5s2xICI/AAAAAAAABtI/rmlXroBhiOU/s1600/IMG_0678.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OIL9j1jei5k/T9Qi5s2xICI/AAAAAAAABtI/rmlXroBhiOU/s400/IMG_0678.JPG" width="225" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-6CDxd8w58/T9Qi6DFs9II/AAAAAAAABtU/2NiP2ICqvxs/s1600/IMG_0679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-6CDxd8w58/T9Qi6DFs9II/AAAAAAAABtU/2NiP2ICqvxs/s400/IMG_0679.JPG" width="225" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeNuwkn6aXY/T9QjoBOniII/AAAAAAAABtg/00KOdrHpddw/s1600/IMG_0680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeNuwkn6aXY/T9QjoBOniII/AAAAAAAABtg/00KOdrHpddw/s400/IMG_0680.JPG" width="400" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XDoHKhYaWIQ/T9QjotYpuUI/AAAAAAAABts/ZVq-aQEWJMg/s1600/IMG_0688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XDoHKhYaWIQ/T9QjotYpuUI/AAAAAAAABts/ZVq-aQEWJMg/s400/IMG_0688.JPG" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">However, I did try it as a facial mask, and it felt like it was pulling the impurities out of my face (good thing). But my answer to the million dollar question on lint.... JUST AVOID IT! Cover your locks at night, be mindful of the things you wear, wash your locks as needed, and when your tired of seeing the little tiny white specks of lint. DYE YOUR LOCKS!

I can remember going to the park in my teenage years... "boy" hunting, and sometimes it feels a little funny taking my kids there as being a Mom.&nbsp; Those who are from the DMV can remember when the park was Wild World, then Adventure World, and now Six Flags.&nbsp; I have been going to that park since I was 4, ahhh what memories. In one of the pics below you can see my daughters Sisterlocks, she was my install number 12.&nbsp; Don't worry, she is gonna have a post dedicated all to herself.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wAiHIlDme7I/T5iYNAMtAYI/AAAAAAAABrM/etedpbo9T3g/s1600/IMG_0553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wAiHIlDme7I/T5iYNAMtAYI/AAAAAAAABrM/etedpbo9T3g/s400/IMG_0553.JPG" width="400" /></a><br /><div></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s9NRKbJXl1o/T5iYNVYunyI/AAAAAAAABrY/H5OLMjfqE90/s1600/IMG_0548.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s9NRKbJXl1o/T5iYNVYunyI/AAAAAAAABrY/H5OLMjfqE90/s400/IMG_0548.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I completed my 14th lock establishment 2 weeks ago.&nbsp; Pics are below: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1kN9w3zfk-w/T5iW8x4MAZI/AAAAAAAABqo/yh6RsC6NwcE/s1600/IMG_0521.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1kN9w3zfk-w/T5iW8x4MAZI/AAAAAAAABqo/yh6RsC6NwcE/s400/IMG_0521.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HuztgBwSAGI/T5iW-VDefiI/AAAAAAAABq4/Md5EpgYDkTg/s1600/IMG_0522.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HuztgBwSAGI/T5iW-VDefiI/AAAAAAAABq4/Md5EpgYDkTg/s400/IMG_0522.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xyQTGRRVSPM/T5iXAsQsd7I/AAAAAAAABrA/TsPYTuJaYxQ/s1600/IMG_0523.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xyQTGRRVSPM/T5iXAsQsd7I/AAAAAAAABrA/TsPYTuJaYxQ/s400/IMG_0523.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-56062409901836391102012-04-13T21:07:00.007-04:002012-04-13T21:55:58.322-04:00I am a survivor.. & 13th installation<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PCMh3O6RgLM/T4jWqg2uNmI/AAAAAAAABpo/PnZbEA6QqbU/s1600/Untitled.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 284px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731066551691261538" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PCMh3O6RgLM/T4jWqg2uNmI/AAAAAAAABpo/PnZbEA6QqbU/s400/Untitled.jpg" /></a> Nothing traumatic has happened to me, but I have survived school this semester.

This offer is good until May 1, 2012. The client does not have to have their locks install by that date, but I would at least have to do their consultation. So if you are in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">DMV</span> (DC,Maryland, Virginia) area and are looking to start your <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">sisterlocks</span> journey, please schedule your consultation today on the light blue link "schedule now". For all you <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">sisterlocks</span> wearers that know someone that may be interested please pass this information along as well. I think this may be my last promotion that I will have this year, who knows!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div>My red rinse in my hair is finally gone, I am contemplating on dying my hair in June, i still have some time to think about it. I always dye my hair the same color, which is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cherrywood</span>. Maybe I will do something different, stay tuned for that.</div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k1jL--4t6ZY/T4jXzA4TjGI/AAAAAAAABp0/dXqJTtvYJXQ/s1600/IMG_0516.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731067797238418530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k1jL--4t6ZY/T4jXzA4TjGI/AAAAAAAABp0/dXqJTtvYJXQ/s400/IMG_0516.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>I recently had a blog reader ask me how I manage my time? Everything I do is planned, I have a small room for wiggle room. I have to keep track of everything the kids have on their schedule along with mines. Believe it or not, the best part of my day is my commute to work. It takes me on average an 1.5 hours to get to work, and back home each day. I ride a crowded, loud, coach bus. In this time I can catch up on much needed sleep, send text messages to clients, do homework, or fiddle with my smart phone. I stay stress free by not having to worry about road rage. I have a household of 6 and we all pretty much share the responsibility of housework (less the 2 yr. old). I have a large color coded schedule for my older kids to follow. They rotate the various day to day chores. Cooking is done by myself, hubby, and daughter. Sometimes my husband and I have dinner dates or luncheons to discuss our schedules. Usually with us it is hit or miss, we both work full time jobs and we both have small business that we run independently. We make certain we have family time, and boy do we have fun when we all get together! </div></div></div></div>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-86667062939063699302012-03-11T21:27:00.007-04:002012-03-11T22:05:51.357-04:0011th installation, & Beautiful locs!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gGiV8D32F8/T11XcWzsuNI/AAAAAAAABoI/nmZf2l5x2HM/s1600/IMG_0417.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 225px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718823246500772050" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gGiV8D32F8/T11XcWzsuNI/AAAAAAAABoI/nmZf2l5x2HM/s400/IMG_0417.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I recently completed my 11th installation, I should have 13 done by the end of March. Needless to say Naturally, of Course! is rolling. This"hair thang" has been a complete joy and I am very thankful to have great clients. My hair is schedule is getting very busy, sisterlocks is really considered part time for me, but I am working it like it is fulltime. On the weekends I am meeting with at least two clients a day. I am even working on my Mondays off and some evenings, but I love what I do. A weekend for me may include a install, a consultation, and a retightening. I literally have rechargeable batteries that keeps me going. And speaking of installs... let me get down to the pics....<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHRkMbN9QJc/T11WSxlY9tI/AAAAAAAABnk/KvGv485QBr8/s1600/client11%2Bpic3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 225px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718821982378194642" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHRkMbN9QJc/T11WSxlY9tI/AAAAAAAABnk/KvGv485QBr8/s400/client11%2Bpic3.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3v0NkYxlPxA/T11WSo8jDmI/AAAAAAAABnY/p8j8d05y6bI/s1600/client11%2Bpic5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 272px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718821980059405922" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3v0NkYxlPxA/T11WSo8jDmI/AAAAAAAABnY/p8j8d05y6bI/s400/client11%2Bpic5.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I love the way that locks transition over time, so for those that are thinking of sisterlocks this is what you can look forward to: your initial install, settling in, and locks that have no choice but to grow. Below is a picture of client number 4. Her locks are almost 6 months old and are settling nicely. She is a joy to sit with every appointment.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EfJ6Az0N6V8/T11WxXN-FoI/AAAAAAAABnw/bCNCVrKQy5Q/s1600/IMG_0434.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 225px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718822507876587138" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EfJ6Az0N6V8/T11WxXN-FoI/AAAAAAAABnw/bCNCVrKQy5Q/s400/IMG_0434.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Next is a new transfer client. Let me tell you... I have seen some beautiful locks, but OMG!!! I mean her grid was perfect, and her locks were perfect. Made me wanna cut my locks and get a second set,and take the greyhound every week to go up to New York and sit in Cynthia Webb's chair. She has wrote the book on PERFECTION! Guess how old her locks are... they are only two years old. WOWZERS! Talk about me and my lock envy. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HN9HhfEbdXw/T11XHEhMd1I/AAAAAAAABn8/bmNgIwBJZ8U/s1600/IMG_0419.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 225px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718822880814069586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HN9HhfEbdXw/T11XHEhMd1I/AAAAAAAABn8/bmNgIwBJZ8U/s400/IMG_0419.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Even though I have been working a whole lot, I do make time on my calender for family fun and outings. It was a joy to celebrate my moms birthday, we made sure she had special VIP treatment. And this weekend me and the hubby went to Atlantic City. I thought I would probably have to do school work all the way up there, but I had everything done. Last week I had retights everyday of the week and I managed my time wisely.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-urFkiZmn1RA/T11YV4twRBI/AAAAAAAABos/wp5SCFuMVZE/s1600/IMG_0441.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 225px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718824234855187474" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-urFkiZmn1RA/T11YV4twRBI/AAAAAAAABos/wp5SCFuMVZE/s400/IMG_0441.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hxRbj7tNi-g/T11YVuFGrGI/AAAAAAAABoc/Dphr1NpQFCs/s1600/IMG_0443.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 225px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718824232000334946" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hxRbj7tNi-g/T11YVuFGrGI/AAAAAAAABoc/Dphr1NpQFCs/s400/IMG_0443.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rkkvUm0em2A/T11YVdh1_tI/AAAAAAAABoU/yQEZ8nIWY1A/s1600/IMG_0466.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 225px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718824227557474002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rkkvUm0em2A/T11YVdh1_tI/AAAAAAAABoU/yQEZ8nIWY1A/s400/IMG_0466.JPG" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-12456504710163114442012-02-27T12:50:00.010-05:002012-03-01T21:13:20.292-05:00Customized Sun Kisses<div><div>I was at the post office mailing out sun kisses, and I had to take a picture of this Sun Kiss before mailing her out.

I am able to keep up and submit my assignments (Thank goodness). How was your Valentines Day??? Mine was awesome. I heard a band play, and went to a nice restaurant for dinner. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">LMBO</span>, It was actually my sons 5<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Th</span> grade recital.

This weekend I did some lock extensions, before and after pics below. I took a lot of the before pictures, but by time I was finished I forgot all about the camera. My client was nice enough to take some after shots with his cell phone. I love to document my work, but sometimes I get so busy that the camera is the last thing on my mind.<br /><strong>BEFORE</strong><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gKAGEb8FAi4/T0HbMFPwKyI/AAAAAAAABj0/iyAJh_mj4Is/s1600/IMG_0388.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711086803095661346" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gKAGEb8FAi4/T0HbMFPwKyI/AAAAAAAABj0/iyAJh_mj4Is/s400/IMG_0388.JPG" /></a><br /><strong>AFTER</strong><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N6WIY-NV2sI/T0HdjW1pFGI/AAAAAAAABkg/fBcEKZ7GiXM/s1600/430916_2974525354762_1010649537_32868068_604914756_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711089401978229858" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N6WIY-NV2sI/T0HdjW1pFGI/AAAAAAAABkg/fBcEKZ7GiXM/s400/430916_2974525354762_1010649537_32868068_604914756_n.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mCgIpMCgNK8/T0HdjHNmdNI/AAAAAAAABkY/kXFnj_9C3gE/s1600/420512_2974532554942_1010649537_32868069_1713750346_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711089397783753938" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mCgIpMCgNK8/T0HdjHNmdNI/AAAAAAAABkY/kXFnj_9C3gE/s400/420512_2974532554942_1010649537_32868069_1713750346_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here is also a quick snap shot of install number 10 at her follow up.

I think I have been doing well these couple of months. God has truly blessed me and my business. I just can't complain. I work full time, and I am doing locks part-time. I love every bit of what I do between 9-5, and locking on the weekend and evenings. A lot of people have asked me if I would consider doing Sisterlocks (tm) full time. For now my answer is no.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VwuRmFX-REg/TzSFVc5FfaI/AAAAAAAABjE/jBancM6gcVo/s1600/IMG_0113.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707333231364636066" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VwuRmFX-REg/TzSFVc5FfaI/AAAAAAAABjE/jBancM6gcVo/s400/IMG_0113.JPG" /></a> (LMBO, no I do not fly helicopters). Besides, I got to do a million things at once, if not I will go crazy. Let's just say I am the QUEEN of multitasking...</div><br /><br /><div>Despite it all I have plenty of family time, and I am still taking Graduate courses. </div><br /><br /><div>Here is a snap shot of the promotion that I am currently running. I love Sisterlocks (tm), but I also do lock extensions. This is a view of the front and back of my postcard. Currently I am offering $30.00 off the first re-tightening (applies to new lock establishments) or 10% off lock extensions services. I have been running this since New Years and it ends at the end of February.</div><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Pyhpcbb6bg/TzSEMWuHEEI/AAAAAAAABi4/kjX9BktDB-Q/s1600/naturally%2Bfeb%2Bpromo.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 401px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 362px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707331975577538626" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Pyhpcbb6bg/TzSEMWuHEEI/AAAAAAAABi4/kjX9BktDB-Q/s400/naturally%2Bfeb%2Bpromo.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>If you or someone you know wants to start their natural hair care journey... check me out </div><br /><div><a href="http://www.lakialocs.com/">lakialocs.com</a> Oh and by the way, more <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lakialocs">Sun Kisses </a>are for sale on ETSY.</div>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-36345430302114870352012-02-06T22:21:00.007-05:002012-02-07T18:39:26.680-05:00Bonding at the Sisterlocks ExplosionMy daughter and I made it back from the Sisterlocks Explosion on Sunday night. Talk about someone that is tired, because I had to be in training 8am the next morning. Anywho! I had a great 3 days bonding experience with my daughter and we worked hard on making the "Sun Kisses".<br /><br /><br /><div>The Sisterlocks Explosion was on this past Saturday, and we had the whole day on Sunday to explore Georgia. We ended up at the aquarium, Coca Cola factory and the mall. </div><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pzxuBLPr1zg/TzGyVJRfIaI/AAAAAAAABhw/JuthU5yIJRo/s1600/IMG_0196.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706538279191388578" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pzxuBLPr1zg/TzGyVJRfIaI/AAAAAAAABhw/JuthU5yIJRo/s400/IMG_0196.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1fDxRVYUegs/TzGyU8UNz6I/AAAAAAAABhk/19qojBipBsE/s1600/IMG_0282.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706538275713175458" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1fDxRVYUegs/TzGyU8UNz6I/AAAAAAAABhk/19qojBipBsE/s400/IMG_0282.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706538266761106754" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FVfk5Zt-MBw/TzGyUa94FUI/AAAAAAAABhY/LCIUddTlPyQ/s400/IMG_0311.JPG" /><br /><br />I got to meet some fellow bloggers in person, which is always a joy!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B8gN1UfU0lc/TzGz7KJVG2I/AAAAAAAABiI/aBSnk9a0uZQ/s1600/IMG_0197.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706540031772269410" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B8gN1UfU0lc/TzGz7KJVG2I/AAAAAAAABiI/aBSnk9a0uZQ/s400/IMG_0197.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P4f6hLcu3S0/TzGz624zs4I/AAAAAAAABh8/rabVUypt2Nc/s1600/IMG_0198.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706540026602697602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P4f6hLcu3S0/TzGz624zs4I/AAAAAAAABh8/rabVUypt2Nc/s400/IMG_0198.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Everyone has been asking how was the event.

My daughter had eye surgery this weekend that was a complete success, and my brother in law went into a coma Sunday, and today he woke up out of it. I can't express it enough... OMG (oh, my GOD is good all the time).<br /><br /><br />Meanwhile, it is 3:30 AM and I have been pulling all nighters to prepare for the Sisterlocks Explosion event in Atlanta, GA. My daughter and I will be flying down Friday night. I have been working on these 18 inch dolls with small locks. They are truly unique, they all have different hair, since most of us like to dye our locks. They also come in different shades of brown. I call them my "Sun Kisses", because they have been KISSED BY THE SUN.<br />They come sassy leggings and with their own personalized T-shirt too!<br /><br /><br />I will also be selling them on ETSY when we come back. So much to do, and so little time. I hope to see most of my ATL crew once I get down there.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E6PmhgU-FiI/Tyj4vmdqpZI/AAAAAAAABhM/z4kmqXsVsuA/s1600/IMG_0157.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704082424727250322" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E6PmhgU-FiI/Tyj4vmdqpZI/AAAAAAAABhM/z4kmqXsVsuA/s400/IMG_0157.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pIOaJElhM_k/Tyj4vXbrrCI/AAAAAAAABhA/bEkGvFXyvok/s1600/IMG_0152.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704082420692397090" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pIOaJElhM_k/Tyj4vXbrrCI/AAAAAAAABhA/bEkGvFXyvok/s400/IMG_0152.JPG" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-35481441982302226542012-01-18T20:40:00.007-05:002012-01-18T21:39:04.411-05:0010th InstallAnother 3 day install... This beautiful lady had to be done in 3 days not because of length, but because of age. We just did a little at a time, had play breaks, and we pretty much watched 3 movies over and over, Smurfs, Tangled, and Shrek. After we were done, I washed it, and she looked in the mirror and said, "I look just like my mom". Too cute.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mWXw_XeMIZM/Txd4W_u7gYI/AAAAAAAABgo/LCufYutaQbA/s1600/IMG_0145.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699156189921378690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mWXw_XeMIZM/Txd4W_u7gYI/AAAAAAAABgo/LCufYutaQbA/s400/IMG_0145.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c-y90bjePiU/Txd4Wh07dgI/AAAAAAAABgc/Ka6dqOSOOZ4/s1600/IMG_0144.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699156181893477890" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c-y90bjePiU/Txd4Wh07dgI/AAAAAAAABgc/Ka6dqOSOOZ4/s400/IMG_0144.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-97xyYFQINOU/Txd4WZ2Z7AI/AAAAAAAABgQ/y7Q3TC9kqkE/s1600/IMG_0143.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699156179752184834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-97xyYFQINOU/Txd4WZ2Z7AI/AAAAAAAABgQ/y7Q3TC9kqkE/s400/IMG_0143.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><p>Click here to see my latest promotion:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.schedulicity.com/Scheduling/Promo/OSCJFV">http://www.schedulicity.com/Scheduling/Promo/OSCJFV</a></p>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-31796506594816549712012-01-14T21:55:00.006-05:002012-01-14T22:48:06.967-05:00Pipe Cleaner CurlsPipe cleaner curls rocks! I absolutely love curling my hair with pipe cleaners. On December 31, 2011 I rolled my hair with pipe cleaners, and here we are 2012 and I am still rocking my curls. Below are pictures of day two after taking them out, and I think the other photo was two days ago. I still have curls today, but I have been working out, and working at my Shop, so lets just say THEY NEED-A-WASHING!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H_1GanrBG8M/TxJC-BH75EI/AAAAAAAABfs/3Q64gzIGyXU/s1600/IMG_0104.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H_1GanrBG8M/TxJC-BH75EI/AAAAAAAABfs/3Q64gzIGyXU/s400/IMG_0104.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697690111798142018" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KkWQ_L-l-RU/TxJC9y01jzI/AAAAAAAABfg/gR6BfPOJaFQ/s1600/IMG_0120.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KkWQ_L-l-RU/TxJC9y01jzI/AAAAAAAABfg/gR6BfPOJaFQ/s400/IMG_0120.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697690107959938866" /></a><br /><br />My pipe cleaner curls attracted so much attention, this is one of my newer clients for style. This is the back of her hair. Lawd! I got lock envy, this beautiful lady has been rocking her Sisterlocks (tm) for 6 years, and started with 2 inches of hair. See ladies, patience pays off! (TM) I am going to ask her to send me some photos of her hair once she takes them out. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l6lPjiLP_js/TxJI6UHMOmI/AAAAAAAABf4/r8uYeGq_xAI/s1600/IMG_0124.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l6lPjiLP_js/TxJI6UHMOmI/AAAAAAAABf4/r8uYeGq_xAI/s400/IMG_0124.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697696645245581922" /></a><br /><br />And remember my client that I installed Sisterlocks (tm) after she went to Jamaica and got what she thought was Sisterlocks (tm)... Take a look, I swear her hair grows like the little chic in that movie Tangled. She is still transitioning from perm, and I trim her everytime she gets a retight. She has maybe 1 -1/2 left of perm on top and I pretty much took the perm off in the back. She is loving her Sisterlocks (tm) and she got me with lock envy! Her locks are definitely one of my favorites. <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7jvKl44eecM/TxJL87pfm_I/AAAAAAAABgE/F1PycLcO-Eo/s1600/IMG_0131.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7jvKl44eecM/TxJL87pfm_I/AAAAAAAABgE/F1PycLcO-Eo/s400/IMG_0131.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697699988753062898" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-63187226511641533892011-12-26T16:36:00.008-05:002011-12-26T17:00:26.951-05:00Merry Christmas...<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B2e6YZh1BvE/Tvjq6q-9e6I/AAAAAAAABew/F6J4NnjdOxA/s1600/IMG_0040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B2e6YZh1BvE/Tvjq6q-9e6I/AAAAAAAABew/F6J4NnjdOxA/s400/IMG_0040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690556422874299298" /></a><br />I hope everyone had a very merry christmas, and remembers "Jesus is the reason for the season". I enjoyed having fun with my family. We know how to come together and have a good ole time. I think I really spoiled the kids this year too, I just enjoy seeing them happy. They got up really early, and crashed quick (as you can see :))<br /><br />I have a big week for me comming up, nothing bur retights... I will post pics of my favorites as soon as I get a chance.<br /><br />I also got to put a rinse on my locks... I mixed two colors, cherry and cinnamon, it came close to the normal cherrywood that I dye my hair with every 14 months. I just colored my locks in March, but the color had fadded tremendously. Check it out: <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FzD8TTJ1vaM/TvjsvNwop-I/AAAAAAAABfI/Xt4B1HkCNsc/s1600/Untitled.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FzD8TTJ1vaM/TvjsvNwop-I/AAAAAAAABfI/Xt4B1HkCNsc/s400/Untitled.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690558425074280418" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2k7xZDLdkIg/Tvjr7KoEPXI/AAAAAAAABe8/Qf5qHgwLWBw/s1600/IMG_0079.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2k7xZDLdkIg/Tvjr7KoEPXI/AAAAAAAABe8/Qf5qHgwLWBw/s400/IMG_0079.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690557530879835506" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lCtP3Wlwz1o/Tvjtuk4wcXI/AAAAAAAABfU/MDMDe7YzvEY/s1600/IMG_0092.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lCtP3Wlwz1o/Tvjtuk4wcXI/AAAAAAAABfU/MDMDe7YzvEY/s400/IMG_0092.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690559513614119282" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-70606019824633677822011-12-15T21:43:00.003-05:002011-12-15T21:55:32.798-05:009th Installation...

In case you don't know "children are scary", especially little ones. My youngest has been experiencing off and on fevers, and then they thought she had diabetes. They had to transfer her to Childrens Hospital. After all the numerous, and horrific testing the diabetes scare was a false alarm. Thank God! A lot of prayers went up that night, and a lot of blessings came down. She is fine now (my perfect little Angel)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eK4Aa2R0bb0/Tuqy-T90ZUI/AAAAAAAABek/V_bjvIRsA6o/s1600/IMG_0018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eK4Aa2R0bb0/Tuqy-T90ZUI/AAAAAAAABek/V_bjvIRsA6o/s400/IMG_0018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686554263089866050" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-18652407644742373752011-12-08T09:03:00.003-05:002011-12-08T09:10:58.528-05:008th Installation...I love new clients! Here are pics of install number 8. I have been doing a lot of multitasking lately. Me and my 12 year old are about to go into business together, I will share details of that venture in a later post. Today, I just needed a mental break so I took off today to do some Christmas Shopping! I have another install scheduled this weekend so I will be posting pictures of that one next week.

This beautiful sister has about approximately 16 inches of natural hair. I will repeat that "16-INCHES-OF-NATURAL-HAIR". I am truly happy of the results. We broke the sitting time down to 3 days, and watched every episode of the first season of "House". <br /><br />BTW... my sisterlocks special is coming to an end. The last day to take advantage of the 10% off package ends December 15. All I require is that the consultation be done by that date. Call me (301)653-3708<br /><br />Take a look and ENJOY!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-66vU8LPyod8/Tsw0KO8z_FI/AAAAAAAABbU/1wDak4D60L8/s1600/100_6291.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-66vU8LPyod8/Tsw0KO8z_FI/AAAAAAAABbU/1wDak4D60L8/s400/100_6291.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677970580623850578" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNuJ-bJy_Us/Tsw0JW-zW9I/AAAAAAAABbM/2TEeuXgih40/s1600/100_6286.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNuJ-bJy_Us/Tsw0JW-zW9I/AAAAAAAABbM/2TEeuXgih40/s400/100_6286.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677970565599812562" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tXRe7eyxJqA/Tsw0JO3YbVI/AAAAAAAABa8/0m2NsybRaVc/s1600/100_6285.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tXRe7eyxJqA/Tsw0JO3YbVI/AAAAAAAABa8/0m2NsybRaVc/s400/100_6285.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677970563421203794" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-icf2sn5CauE/Tsw0IlUEh9I/AAAAAAAABa0/uBulvdAs5Ak/s1600/100_6289.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-icf2sn5CauE/Tsw0IlUEh9I/AAAAAAAABa0/uBulvdAs5Ak/s400/100_6289.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677970552267245522" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ccTEQpl7afQ/Tsw0IgN19zI/AAAAAAAABao/MaXx3XjWugg/s1600/100_6284.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ccTEQpl7afQ/Tsw0IgN19zI/AAAAAAAABao/MaXx3XjWugg/s400/100_6284.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677970550898947890" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-82819912216236244852011-11-13T10:12:00.005-05:002011-11-13T10:34:33.045-05:00Sisterlocks Revolution...

I got to the event at 11:00AM and the parking lot was full... Sistah girl had to park across the street at a church. I got to see so many sisterlocked ladies that I have met over the years from past meet ups and events, and a lot of folks recognized me from my blog and website. The whole event was well coordinated. It was great seeing some of my North Carolina folks that came up to volunteered. <br /><br />Sandra the "lock STAR" aint no joke!! She was styling hair left and right, it was good to see her in person, she came up from North Carolina as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rDJl36ph4vc/Tr_hgMRqt1I/AAAAAAAABac/KpnousWfN2Q/s1600/100_6274.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rDJl36ph4vc/Tr_hgMRqt1I/AAAAAAAABac/KpnousWfN2Q/s400/100_6274.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674501998677505874" /></a><br /><br /><br />Everone locks were fierce... whether they were 9 years old of 9 weeks old. The DMV did their thang.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xs64v9-NOos/Tr_hMWOn84I/AAAAAAAABaE/HSzQWzs7D3Q/s1600/100_6271.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xs64v9-NOos/Tr_hMWOn84I/AAAAAAAABaE/HSzQWzs7D3Q/s400/100_6271.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674501657751712642" /></a><br /><br />I was also excited to see two of my clients at the event, and I am so glad that they have come home to sisterlocks. I got home about midnight because me and a few others kept the party going. We got to do it again next year, and do it bigger. I got one retightening to do today. Until next time...Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534145201006195869.post-6093506573737734522011-11-09T19:16:00.006-05:002011-11-09T19:31:59.024-05:00Whew...

But its all good.<br /><br />I have been doing a lot of sisterlocks, and I am loving every minute of it. This weekend is the Sisterlocks Revolution here in the DMV. I encourage everyone to attend if you can. I have an Ad for the Sisterlocks Revolution so hopefully I can gain more sisterlock newbies. I will post more pics of my clients soon. So look out for those, and of course I will be blogging about the Revolution. <br /><br />Here is a peek of one of my clients that would normally color her gray. The beginning stages of sisterlocks are very crucial, so we are allowing the grey hair to grow in, and maybe within 6mos - 1yr I can give her the "OK" to color. For right now, we are just treating these locks like babies!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mbsl57HrB_I/TrsaKG3B_rI/AAAAAAAABY0/nTeP_CqRvGw/s1600/04780138.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mbsl57HrB_I/TrsaKG3B_rI/AAAAAAAABY0/nTeP_CqRvGw/s400/04780138.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673156916545715890" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x5GNYU2H64g/TrsaJs36Y-I/AAAAAAAABYk/5IGzfGzoAeE/s1600/04780140.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x5GNYU2H64g/TrsaJs36Y-I/AAAAAAAABYk/5IGzfGzoAeE/s400/04780140.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673156909570089954" /></a><br /><br />Oh... and one last thing... I rolled my hair up. This is the 3rd time that I have done that this year. I even surprised myself with the urge to do that. I am still rocking the curls, these pics are from day one, but I am rocking them going on a little over two weeks now. ENJOY!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x5pG5kO993M/TrsbTZzBBhI/AAAAAAAABZg/LOo7SSRDp58/s1600/04780153.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x5pG5kO993M/TrsbTZzBBhI/AAAAAAAABZg/LOo7SSRDp58/s400/04780153.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673158175759599122" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Np__UFQU9I/TrsbD5k1n5I/AAAAAAAABZI/LKgwmZABvRY/s1600/04780152.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Np__UFQU9I/TrsbD5k1n5I/AAAAAAAABZI/LKgwmZABvRY/s400/04780152.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673157909412159378" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RUp5cnwgpY8/TrsbDhtrMqI/AAAAAAAABY8/OJFKohKvrrI/s1600/04780151.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RUp5cnwgpY8/TrsbDhtrMqI/AAAAAAAABY8/OJFKohKvrrI/s400/04780151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673157903006773922" /></a>Lakiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11384875801686886913noreply@blogger.com3
